the - using the word lasoosely - working, code. It runs on strawberry c5.10.1 Hi waytoperl I would side with Discipulus here and abduct that your problem is in regard to simultaneously printing the output into multiple filehandles, or multiplexing. For me it seemed clear that using the single form of perl built in select would be necessary to achieve simple multiplexing. However, I managed to rework the code around the perl built in pipe function. Thank Strawberry for perldoc. Essentially, once you have selected a filehandle, the filehandle_special-variables are operational on that filehandle Any regular output run in a perlfunc:system call will go to that output filehandle, but there, as in the code here, any redirections within the external script, will behave as scripted. the pipe fork combo sets up a situation where you may select the output filehandle to only print to the output, or the pipe $writer indirect filehandle, to print to both (or as many as you like) at the same time. Best not to redirect 0,1,2 unless you understand it well. Even though I have done so here, I am very confident there are better ways. Discipulus' link to log4Perl premise is definetly worth another look. Hi waytoperl, good question, but... You have not explained clearly the output you expect. Describing what output you expect and where in a little more detail and you may get a better answer. I would side with Discipulus here and abduct that your problem is in regard to simultaneously printing the output into multiple filehandles, or multiplexing. Using perl built in select IO::SelectA builtin module providing an object interface to the built-in select function. This will update the default file ($_ in print;) which file handles and variables operate upon by default. Now you have selected the default filehandle, you then run another script. If that script redirects output itself, you defeat the purpose of redirecting in your primary script. Best not to redirect 0,1,2 unless you understand this sentence. From here your solution is to ensure your script is printing where you want it to. Or, import the script into the running program by require-ing I would suggest using selectIO::Prompter Term::Cap source Hi Thanos1983 I have been looking at your server code, as I am becoming more familiar with sockets. The client code helped greatly. Alarming lack of localised lexicals... Changing up the $readable_handles var may help. The IO::Select constructor returns a select object, which accesses the state of all the handles, whether they be Readable, Writeable, or Exceptions. Also the constructor auto adds any handles passed in. The select::IO object extends the capabilities of the select function to act upon not only one, but stored arrays of, filehandles. Given select returns an indication of whether the filehandle is ready to be read from or written to,... ? fcntl block within a local scope within which can_write is called on the select object again ? The Example in the IO::Select documentation shows the while argument can actually be the call to read the ready select. using the correct equality operator ? wtf - recommend a friend. so you see - until you get your new buddy to sign in, you dont get to see the next message anyone sent. Also - you only get to say one thing ever.? ok I think I can see what you are trying to do now. I cleaned up the server code a bit, including accessing the select 3 x ref to array in a ref to a array. But I tried to clear the fork out of the client (i am on wins rigth now) but that went wrong. so, so far I have... previously was this, but the regex didnt work n stuff chdir `pwd` doh! |

I have a 98 Jeep Wrangler that I use for a light trail Jeep (camping, fishing, hunting, hauling)/ Daily Driver. I purchased this unit for emergency power/ power on the trail. Originally, I was just going to use it to charge my 18v tools and cell phone (don't have a car charger for the cell). However, after playing around with it for a while trying to break it (which I couldn't) I quickly re-tasked this puppy. When I got my Jeep I put a cold-air intake kit on the stock 4.o, but never removed the stock air box. This ended up being the perfect place to mount this unit under the hood to keep it dry and easily accessable. Now I use it in combination with the HF 12,000lb Badlands winch and 14" Electric Chainsaw to clear trees off the trail. It does kick the breaker when it bogs down into a wet oak/maple, but as long as you cut slow and let the saw do the work and don't force the saw into the tree it works great. Then you can hook the winch to the tree move it out of your way and keep truckin'. This inverter has helped me free-up a ton of cargo space not having to haul an 18" full size gas-powered chainsaw, mixed gas, and the whole works when going on a quick outing. The trio of inverter, saw, and winch will be in all my trail rigs in the future.

I bought this inverter to power a Yamaha A-500 stereo amplifer in our tailgating RV. The specs on the amp say 380w power consumption at 120v. When the amp is turned it tries to come on for a split second, but the overload light on inverter comes on immediately and shuts everything down. Now at 380w I find it hard to believe that the amp would require more than 1500w for start up, which is what this inverter claims to provide. Either it rquires more than 1500w to start a 380w continuous amplifier or the inverter does not provide what it claims. You dedcide, I'm just relaying my experience.Now, on the positive side, the inverter does a nice job of powering up our 32" LDC HDTV and provides power to an iPod dock. But heck, my 200 watt inverter from Harbor Freight will do that.

Excellent power unit!
By Rupe
from N. Minnesota
This unit really surprised me! I am a pipeline inspector and my truck is my office with the inverter running everything, including the computer, printer and even a shredder. I was expecting it to be a noisy unit with the fan kicking on all the time. However, it is quite the opposite. It runs cool and i have never yet even heard the fan kick on even with everything running. I just wish i had installed this unit earlier instead of putting up with a cheaper unit for a couple of years first. I dont think you will have any problems with this unit, always assuming you dont get a lemon to start with. Highly recommended.

About Me Mechanic
The first one of these I bought is used to run a snow-cone machine with an induction motor. It's powered by a solar panel attached to an RV battery. Along with the ice shaving machine it runs a stereo and charges a smart phone via the USB outlet. The second one had a bad connection internally to one of the 110V outlets and so was exchanged. The third one is a spare inverter for use in my solar powered home. It'll run a small refrigerator, lights, fan, TV, DVR, and computer at the same time. It'll also run a drill press, jig saw, reciprocating saw, and other shop tools. It won't power the washing machine but I didn't expect it to. I like the small size, the plastic case, the USB outlet, and the fan that doesn't come on with small loads. The included battery cables are also a plus. Some of the negative reviews of this and other inverters undoubtedly stem from the use of a battery of inadequate capacity, undersized cables, or poor battery connections. This inverter will indeed supply the rated wattage if the rest of the system is up to par.

Just received the unit....read all the reviews...watched all the stuff on ytube....had a 25% off ...so I went for it! brought in my deep cycle trolling battery with a 160 amp reserve capacity. First I tried my 3/8 drill...worked fine even the varaiable speed, and under load...fan did not turn on! Next I tried my Dell dual core and my monitor...worked fine,still no fan...unit was very cool. Next I tried my Kenmore Vac....error tone and shut down...good that is what I expected...reset the unit and tried again....again shut down...Good! Next I tried my entertainment system....42"TV, E-system computer running Windows Media System, DVD, and an old VHS system.....all WORKED at ONCE!No break up on TV or static on the FM radio...then after an hour the fan turned on for about 2 min...and I continued to watch a movie. System still running cool.GREAT SYSTEM

I bought this inverter to power my sump pump in an emergency. So far I have not had to use it in an emergency, but I did test it and it worked to empty my sump. You do need to have your car running when it is plugged into the battery to work. Also, I was sure to verify that my sump pump is about 600 watts (on the small side). It may not work on a larger sump pump.

We're having heavy snowmelt flooding and my sump pump is running almost constantly the past few days. The power went off last night at 1:30am with 500gph of water flowing into my basement. I quickly fired up my pickup, attached extension cords all the way to the sump pump and with the truck idling, it ran the pump for 3 hours till the power was restored. I figured the frequent on/off cycling of the pump's switch would have killed the inverter but it didn't. Really saved my rear.

About Me Auto Enthusiast
I mounted this unit permanently in the trunk storage area of my Chevy Volt. The battery is located there also, so I only needed a short hookup cable. Used a 250A circuit breaker, with a built-in on-off switch. Keeping the car in the "on" position, the engine will start and charge the battery as needed. I run all sorts of power tools, and even a parabolic heater (on low setting) and the inverter works without issue. The fan does sound pretty loud when drawing high current, but so far the fan is doing it's job and hasn't failed. I was so happy with this unit I bought a second to have in case I need one that's more portable. Another good purchase from HF, and at a great price!

Carbon nanotubes in photovoltaics
Organic photovoltaic devices (OPVs) are fabricated from thin films of organic semiconductors, such as polymers and small-molecule compounds, and are typically on the order of 100 nm thick. Because polymer based OPVs can be made using a coating process such as spin coating or inkjet printing, they are an attractive option for inexpensively covering large areas as well as flexible plastic surfaces. A promising low cost alternative to conventional solar cells made of crystalline silicon, there is a large amount of research being dedicated throughout industry and academia towards developing OPVs and increasing their power conversion efficiency.[1][2]
Single wall carbon nanotubes as light harvesting media[edit]
Single wall carbon nanotubes possess a wide range of direct bandgaps matching the solar spectrum, strong photoabsorption, from infrared to ultraviolet, and high carrier mobility and reduced carrier transport scattering, which make themselves ideal photovoltaic material. Photovoltaic effect can be achieved in ideal single wall carbon nanotube (SWNT) diodes. Individual SWNTs can form ideal p-n junction diodes.[3] An ideal behavior is the theoretical limit of performance for any diode, a highly sought after goal in all electronic materials development. Under illumination, SWNT diodes show significant power conversion efficiencies owing to enhanced properties of an ideal diode.
Recently, SWNTs were directly configured as energy conversion materials to fabricate thin-film solar cells, with nanotubes serving as both photogeneration sites and a charge carriers collecting/transport layer. The solar cells consist of a semitransparent thin film of nanotubes conformally coated on a n-type crystalline silicon substrate to create high-density p-n heterojunctions between nanotubes and n-Si to favor charge separation and extract electrons (through n-Si) and holes (through nanotubes). Initial tests have shown a power conversion efficiency of >1%, proving that CNTs-on-Si is a potentially suitable configuration for making solar cells. For the first time, Zhongrui Li demonstrated that SOCl2 treatment of SWNT boosts the power conversion efficiency of SWNT/n-Si heterojunction solar cells by more than 60%.[4] Later on the acid doping approach is widely adopted in the later published CNT/Si works. Even higher efficiency can be achieved if acid liquid is kept inside the void space of nanotube network. Acid infiltration of nanotube networks significantly boosts the cell efficiency to 13.8%,as reported by Yi Jia,[5] by reducing the internal resistance that improves fill factor, and by forming photoelectrochemical units that enhance charge separation and transport. The wet acid induced problems can be avoided by using aligned CNT film. In aligned CNT film, the transport distance is shortened, and the exciton quenching rate is also reduced. Additionally aligned nanotube film has much smaller void space, and better contact with substrate. So, plus strong acid doping, using aligned single wall carbon nanotube film can further improve power conversion efficiency (a record-high power-conversion-efficiency of >11% was achieved by Yeonwoong Jung).[6]
Zhongrui Li also made the first n-SWNT/p-Si photovoltaic device by tuning SWNTs from p-type to n-type through polyethylene imine functionalization.[7]
Carbon nanotube composites in the photoactive layer[edit]
Combining the physical and chemical characteristics of conjugated polymers with the high conductivity along the tube axis of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) provides a great deal of incentive to disperse CNTs into the photoactive layer in order to obtain more efficient OPV devices. The interpenetrating bulk donor–acceptor heterojunction in these devices can achieve charge separation and collection because of the existence of a bicontinuous network. Along this network, electrons and holes can travel toward their respective contacts through the electron acceptor and the polymer hole donor. Photovoltaic efficiency enhancement is proposed to be due to the introduction of internal polymer/nanotube junctions within the polymer matrix. The high electric field at these junctions can split up the excitons, while the single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) can act as a pathway for the electrons.[8]
The dispersion of CNTs in a solution of an electron donating conjugated polymer is perhaps the most common strategy to implement CNT materials into OPVs. Generally poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) or poly(3-octylthiophene) (P3OT) are used for this purpose. These blends are then spin coated onto a transparent conductive electrode with thicknesses that vary from 60 to 120 nm. These conductive electrodes are usually glass covered with indium tin oxide (ITO) and a 40 nm sublayer of poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) and poly(styrenesulfonate) (PSS). PEDOT and PSS help to smooth the ITO surface, decreasing the density of pinholes and stifling current leakage that occurs along shunting paths. Through thermal evaporation or sputter coating, a 20 to 70 nm thick layer of aluminum and sometimes an intermediate layer of lithium fluoride are then applied onto the photoactive material. Multiple research investigations with both multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) integrated into the photoactive material have been completed.[9][1][8][10][11][12][13]
Enhancements of more than two orders of magnitude have been observed in the photocurrent from adding SWCNTs to the P3OT matrix.[8] Improvements were speculated to be due to charge separation at polymer–SWCNT connections and more efficient electron transport through the SWCNTs. However, a rather low power conversion efficiency of 0.04% under 100 mW/cm2 white illumination was observed for the device suggesting incomplete exciton dissociation at low CNT concentrations of 1.0% wt. Because the lengths of the SWCNTs were similar to the thickness of photovoltaic films, doping a higher percentage of SWCNTs into the polymer matrix was believed to cause short circuits. To supply additional dissociation sites, other researchers have physically blended functionalized MWCNTs into P3HT polymer to create a P3HT-MWCNT with fullerene C60 double-layered device.[14] However, the power efficiency was still relatively low at 0.01% under 100 mW/cm2 white illumination. Weak exciton diffusion toward the donor–acceptor interface in the bilayer structure may have been the cause in addition to the fullerene C60 layer possibly experiencing poor electron transport.
More recently, a polymer photovoltaic device from C60-modified SWCNTs and P3HT has been fabricated.[15] Microwave irradiating a mixture of aqueous SWCNT solution and C60 solution in toluene was the first step in making these polymer-SWCNT composites. Conjugated polymer P3HT was then added resulting in a power conversion efficiency of 0.57% under simulated solar irradiation (95 mW/cm2). It was concluded that improved short circuit current density was a direct result of the addition of SWCNTs into the composite causing faster electron transport via the network of SWCNTs. It was also concluded that the morphology change led to an improved fill factor. Overall, the main result was improved power conversion efficiency with the addition of SWCNTs, compared to cells without SWCNTs; however, further optimization was thought to be possible.
Additionally, it has been found that heating to the point beyond the glass transition temperature of either P3HT or P3OT after construction can be beneficial for manipulating the phase separation of the blend. This heating also affects the ordering of the polymeric chains because the polymers are microcrystalline systems and it improves charge transfer, charge transport, and charge collection throughout the OPV device. The hole mobility and power efficiency of the polymer-CNT device also increased significantly as a result of this ordering.[16]
Emerging as another valuable approach for deposition, the use of tetraoctylammonium bromide in tetrahydrofuran has also been the subject of investigation to assist in suspension by exposing SWCNTs to an electrophoretic field.[17] In fact, photoconversion efficiencies of 1.5% and 1.3% were achieved when SWCNTs were deposited in combination with light harvesting cadmium sulfide (CdS) quantum dots and porphyrins, respectively.[18]
Among the best power conversions achieved to date using CNTs were obtained by depositing a SWCNT layer between the ITO and the PEDOT : PSS or between the PEDOT : PSS and the photoactive blend in a modified ITO/PEDOT : PSS/ P3HT : (6,6)-phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM)/Al solar cell. By dip-coating from a hydrophilic suspension, SWCNT were deposited after an initially exposing the surface to an argon plasma to achieve a power conversion efficiency of 4.9%, compared to 4% without CNTs.[19]
However, even though CNTs have shown potential in the photoactive layer, they have not resulted in a solar cell with a power conversion efficiency greater than the best tandem organic cells (6.5% efficiency).[20] But, it has been shown in most of the previous investigations that the control over a uniform blending of the electron donating conjugated polymer and the electron accepting CNT is one of the most difficult as well as crucial aspects in creating efficient photocurrent collection in CNT-based OPV devices. Therefore, using CNTs in the photoactive layer of OPV devices is still in the initial research stages and there is still room for novel methods to better take advantage of the beneficial properties of CNTs.
Carbon nanotubes as a transparent electrode[edit]
ITO is currently the most popular material used for the transparent electrodes in OPV devices; however, it has a number of deficiencies. For one, it is not very compatible with polymeric substrates due to its high deposition temperature of around 600 °C. Traditional ITO also has unfavorable mechanical properties such as being relatively fragile. In addition, the combination of costly layer deposition in vacuum and a limited supply of indium results in high quality ITO transparent electrodes being very expensive. Therefore, developing and commercializing a replacement for ITO is a major focus of OPV research and development.
Conductive CNT coatings have recently become a prospective substitute based on wide range of methods including spraying, spin coating, casting, layer-by-layer, and Langmuir–Blodgett deposition.[9][21][22][23] The transfer from a filter membrane to the transparent support using a solvent or in the form of an adhesive film is another method for attaining flexible and optically transparent CNT films.[24] Other research efforts have shown that films made of arc-discharge CNT can result in a high conductivity and transparency.[25] Furthermore, the work function of SWCNT networks is in the 4.8 to 4.9 eV range (compared to ITO which has a lower work function of 4.7 eV) leading to the expectation that the SWCNT work function should be high enough to assure efficient hole collection.[26] Another benefit is that SWCNT films exhibit a high optical transparency in a broad spectral range from the UV-visible to the near-infrared range. Only a few materials retain reasonable transparency in the infrared spectrum while maintaining transparency in the visible part of the spectrum as well as acceptable overall electrical conductivity.[24] SWCNT films are highly flexible, do not creep, do not crack after bending, theoretically have high thermal conductivities to tolerate heat dissipation, and have high radiation resistance. However, the electrical sheet resistance of ITO is an order of magnitude less than the sheet resistance measured for SWCNT films. Nonetheless, initial research studies demonstrate SWCNT thin films can be used as conducting, transparent electrodes for hole collection in OPV devices with efficiencies between 1% and 2.5% confirming that they are comparable to devices fabricated using ITO.[26][27] Thus, possibilities exist for advancing this research to develop CNT-based transparent electrodes that exceed the performance of traditional ITO materials.
CNTs in dye-sensitized solar cells[edit]
Due to the simple fabrication process, low production cost, and high efficiency, there is significant interest in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). Thus, improving DSSC efficiency has been the subject of a variety of research investigations because it has the potential to be manufactured economically enough to compete with other solar cell technologies. Titanium dioxide nanoparticles have been widely used as a working electrode for DSSCs because they provide a high efficiency, more than any other metal oxide semiconductor investigated.[28] Yet the highest conversion efficiency under air mass (AM) 1.5 (100 mW/cm2) irradiation reported for this device to date is about 11%.[29] Despite this initial success, the effort to further enhance efficiency has not produced any major results.[30] The transport of electrons across the particle network has been a key problem in achieving higher photoconversion efficiency in nanostructured electrodes. Because electrons encounter many grain boundaries during the transit and experience a random path, the probability of their recombination with oxidized sensitizer is increased.[31] Therefore, it is not adequate to enlarge the oxide electrode surface area to increase efficiency because photo-generated charge recombination should be prevented. Promoting electron transfer through film electrodes and blocking interface states lying below the edge of the conduction band are some of the non-CNT based strategies to enhance efficiency that have been employed.[30]
With recent progress in CNT development and fabrication, there is promise to use various CNT based nanocomposites and nanostructures to direct the flow of photogenerated electrons and assist in charge injection and extraction. To assist the electron transport to the collecting electrode surface in a DSSC, a popular concept is to utilize CNT networks as support to anchor light harvesting semiconductor particles. Research efforts along these lines include organizing CdS quantum dots on SWCNTs.[18] Charge injection from excited CdS into SWCNTs was documented upon excitation of CdS nanoparticles. Other varieties of semiconductor particles including CdSe and CdTe can induce charge-transfer processes under visible light irradiation when attached to CNTs.[32] Including porphyrin and C60 fullerene, organization of photoactive donor polymer and acceptor fullerene on electrode surfaces has also been shown to offer considerable improvement in the photoconversion efficiency of solar cells.[33] Therefore, there is an opportunity to facilitate electron transport and increase the photoconversion efficiency of DSSCs utilizing the electron-accepting ability of semiconducting SWCNTs.
Other researchers fabricated DSSCs using the sol-gel method to obtain titanium dioxide coated MWCNTs for use as an electrode.[30] Because pristine MWCNTs have a hydrophobic surface and poor dispersion stability, pretreatment was necessary for this application. A relatively low-destruction method for removing impurities, H2O2 treatment was used to generate carboxylic acid groups by oxidation of MWCNTs. Another positive aspect was the fact that the reaction gases including CO
2 and H2O were non-toxic and could be released safely during the oxidation process. As a result of treatment, H2O2 exposed MWCNTs have a hydrophilic surface and the carboxylic acid groups on the surface have polar covalent bonding. Also, the negatively charged surface of the MWCNTs improved the stability of dispersion. By then entirely surrounding the MWCNTs with titanium dioxide nanoparticles using the sol-gel method, an increase in the conversion efficiency of about 50% compared to a conventional titanium dioxide cell was achieved. The enhanced interconnectivity between the titanium dioxide particles and the MWCNTs in the porous titanium dioxide film was concluded to be the cause of the improvement in short circuit current density. Here again, the addition of MWCNTs was thought to provide more efficient electron transfer through film in the DSSC.

Oct. 4 (Bloomberg) -- Ireland's central bank lowered its economic growth forecast for next year, as export growth slows and consumer spending falls.
Gross domestic product will rise 1.8 percent next year, the Dublin-based central bank said in its quarterly bulletin on its website today. The bank in July forecast growth of 2.1 percent. The bank raised its forecast for this year to 1 percent, from its 0.8 percent estimate three months ago, after second-quarter growth beat analysts' estimates.
"Consumption is likely to weaken in the second half of this year and fall back further during next year," the central the bank said. A "more muted outlook" for exports in the second half of this year is expected to be "sustained through much of next year."
Irish Finance Minister Michael Noonan said last month that slowing growth in Ireland's trading partners may hamper the economy even as he tries to cut the fiscal deficit. The government has pledged to reduce the deficit about 3 percent of gross domestic product by 2015 from about 10 percent this year.
The central bank said today there are arguments to be made in favor of speeding up the process, though "it would not be advisable to frontload the adjustment in a dramatic manner."
Personal expenditure is forecast to decline 2.6 percent this year and 0.8 percent next year, the central bank said. Exports will rise 5.3 percent and 5.2 percent, it said.
Ireland's 10-year borrowing cost, which reached 14.22 percent in July, has dropped to 7.68 percent.
"Yields, though they have fallen, remain at levels that are inconsistent with a return to market funding," the central bank said. "Further very significant progress has to be made in convincing market participants of the country's creditworthiness. "

ABC's Jack Cloherty and Jason Ryan report:
You think you have computer problems? A new system being installed at the FBI is two years behind schedule, $100 million over budget, and still doesn't have spell check.
The revelation is the latest fiasco in the FBI's nearly decade-long effort to install a computer system that would help agents track cases and manage evidence. The Department of Justice Inspector General today released a report that found that after spending about $405 million of the $452 million budgeted for the "Sentinel" system, only about half the system is completed. That means that FBI agents, already busy trying to prevent domestic terror, will still have to take time to process 18 case-related forms by hand, print the forms to obtain approval signatures, and maintain hard copy files.
The Sentinel project follows a bungled, three- year, $170 million effort to develop an electronic case management system called the Virtual Case File. The FBI pulled the plug on that effort in 2005, and instead moved ahead with the Sentinel project. But things have been going so badly with Sentinel that last month the FBI decided to take over the project itself, limit the contractor's role in the system, and finish the project itself in one year.
FBI officials say that in August they took key steps to reduce dealing with Lockheed Martin on the contract to streamline the program's development and keep it Budget. In a statement FBI Associate Deputy Director, Thomas J. Harrington "We examined several options in detail, and selected an approach based on what is known as "agile development" methodology. This approach will reduce our reliance on traditional contractors and allow for cost-savings by dealing directly with product experts. By using agile development and products not previously available for the Sentinel project, we expect to complete the essential functions of Sentinel within budget."
But the Inspector General is not so sure that's the answer, either. The IG report points out that the FBI plan is "still evolving, not officially approved, and is undocumented." And in a master stroke of understatement, the report says, "the undocumented 1-year estimate for system completion appears optimistic based on the FBI's past history with information technology projects."
After the report was released today Harrington said in response to the report, "We believe that the interim report does not accurately reflect the FBI's management of the Sentinel project, and fails to credit the FBI with taking corrective action to keep it on budget. Moreover, the interim report comes at a time when the FBI has changed its plan for completing the project, and the Department of Justice has authorized us to go forward with our new approach. The report, however, continues to rely on outdated cost estimates that do not apply to the current FBI plan."
Until the system is up and running it looks like FBI agents could be filing those paper case reports by hand for quite some time.

Hi thx for reading. For several months I have had noticably lower energy. In the past 3 weeks i have been experiencing , several times daily: dizzy spells, bad headaches, extreme exhaustion, nausea and occasional chest and digestive pains. Blood tests for thyroid, B 12 and iron have come back regular as have chest xrays. My GP is on vacation till Oct 10/08, I am missing much work and quality of life w husband and kids.
I am 45 yrs old, female, 5'4' , 132 lbs, and medium boned.
Daily I take aloe vera whole leaf juice morning and b4 bed. I also take, a liquid magnesium supplement, 340 mg evening primrose oil, pharmaceutical grade fish oil, ester C, 500 mg calcium, and a cal/mag supplement 1000:500.
Prior to the summer, I was weight training 2-3 times/week and running approx 5-7 km 3 times /week. I cut back in the summer and for about 6 weeks have done no physical activity excep the odd push ups and squats w/out weights.
I am getting scared. I will have periods of time where I will feel fine and then, w/out warning, be taken over by dizziness/ imbalance and nausea.
Can you discern, from what I've shared, what this may be? Do you have any advice that you think would be helpful? My husband is enduring much and I am somewhat embarrassed and feeling guilty. My kids are missing me. I am losing money from not working. Could you possibly advise a course of action?
Thank you in advance for any help you may be able to offer.
God bless you and your work.
Yours truly - Marcie Prebianca

Nov. 29 (Bloomberg) -- Tanzania, Africa's fourth-largest tea producer, may boost output of the crop 9.4 percent in the current season because of increased rainfall, the Tea Board of Tanzania said.
Output in the 12 months through June may climb to 35,000 metric tons from 32,000 tons a year earlier, Director-General Mathias Assenga said in a phone interview today from Dar es Salaam, the commercial capital.
"There are some good rains and we hope the crop will recover from last season's drought," he said. Production last season fell short of an initial target of 35,000 tons because of a lack of rains, Assenga said.
Tanzania's tea output ranks behind Kenya, Malawi and Uganda on the continent, according to the United Nations' Food and Agricultural Organization. Four-fifths of the leaves are sold to buyers from the U.K., Germany, India and the United Arab Emirates. About half of Tanzania's tea exports are channeled through the world's biggest tea auction in the port city of Mombasa in neighboring Kenya.
Agriculture generates more than 40 percent of Tanzania's gross domestic product, according to the CIA World Factbook. The tea board is trying to encourage farmers to introduce the crop to areas bordering Kenya and to use more fertilizers to boost output, according to the board. Kenya is the world's largest exporter of black tea.
This season's forecast is 3 percent lower than a March 11 estimate of 36,000 tons because of crop damage caused by adverse weather, Assenga said.

Jamal Crawford, LA Clippers
No one in NBA history has more "traditional" four point plays than Jamal Crawford. The man with the ball seemingly on a string, gets defenders to bite on his hesitation moves all the time and finishes them by hitting a three and getting fouled. Crawford also has crazy distance on that jumper and enough deceptive strength to hit shots from about 28-30 feet, where the new proposed line would most likely be.

WTF – Korean Self Massager
For this week's Wonderful Treasure Find we try to figure out how to not paralyze ourselves.
Yes, we are joking. We're not afraid of paralyzing ourselves. We just have no clue how to properly use this Korean self back massager thingy. We've seen our co-teachers using things like this before, and so we tried one out ourselves, but it doesn't feel good. At all. Doesn't feel good one bit. We're convinced that it's because we don't know how to use it properly. There probably are some parts of your back into which it would feel absolutely great and relaxing to dig a hard plastic tip, but we just don't know where those parts are hiding. Martina's more convinced that it' used to beat yourself in the back, rather than to dig yourself in the back, but the way that she tried out hurt her as well. Altogether, we're not impressed, and we're a little bit sore as well.
We think this kinda goes along with that Korean Foot Massage we subjected ourselves to. Those massages were excruciatingly painful, so much so that Martina was actually crying in the massage. This idea of pain=healing, or something along those lines, is no fun. Massages should be soothing, a little painful at times, but not all around pain. See, some people will argue that after you've endured the pain, you feel great afterwards, and so that's the whole point of the massage, but that's RUBBISH! It's not the pain that makes you feel good, but the fact that you're not in pain anymore that you're happy about, it's the contrast that gives the effect. Think of it this way: eat a burger. Seems like a decent, normal burger, yeah? Now go to jail for 30 years and eat crap. Then, when you're free, eat a burger. ISN'T THAT BURGER THE MOST DELICIOUS BURGER OF YOUR LIFE?!?! Now, it's not the burger that's awesome. It's no better than before. It's just the fact that you've suffered for so long that you enjoy the burger more than before. Same with Korean massages. You get tortured for a long time, and the good feelings afterwards are those of freedom more than anything else.
Bah! That's our opinion at least. Anyhow, does anyone know where we can find an instruction manual for these thingies? Hopefully with diagrams that show us where are the best parts to use this thing. I'm sure some people know how to use it well. Help people! Show us what to do here!

WTF Korea-
I'm not sure why anyone would think that the beak/icepick feature is a good idea, but if you were to dremel it off you'd end up with something similar to a "theracane". Find one and open the happy!
Check this out for some learnin' and LULZ:
http://www.theracane.com/TCmanual_English.pdf -
I think I remember Dr. Oz (One of Oprah's many upstarts) showing a product similar to this a while back.
Whose Line is it Anyways, greatest show ever. Your Koreanized version comes in a distantly close second, since no one can replace the original. Also, I saw the forever alone guy you put in there Simon, you guys must spend more time on tumblr than I thought you did. :)
You guys look so much more western on your first few pixelated videos; Martina's hair is all long and what not Simon doesn't have a mohawk. you guys dress more western-ish. It's funny how much can change in a few years.
Before Martina leaves her teaching position you guys should make one final video about teaching, the one you have in the archives is probably my favorite video out of them all.
One final thing: kind of nit-picky but when you do the K-Pop Music Mondays, when you show Martina you should adjust the tri-pod/camera and move it up a little or zoom in a bit more, there's a bit to much headroom above her. And this comment is what I get for a year and half worth of Broadcast Journalism classes.
Whoever (Simon, I think) edits the videos, is a pro at it, like you should be an editor for a move or whatever. I always appreciate it because I know how frustrating it was learning Premiere (iMovie was just belch), and how long, tedious, and even more frustrated you can get while capturing the footage and editing. And the website, coding/HTML and pretty much everything is always top notch. Well, I really could go on and on about how wonderful Eat Your Kimchi is but I don't wanna take away any planning/filming/capturing/editing time away from you.
Haha I love this video XD…. even though I was living in Korea, I haven't seen that massage tool .. in my life.. ever ! XD…
After the whole Xena reference I was walking around with the mental picture …"Oh look … Xena used her super special ancient-greece martial arts and made Mars pee himself (…..and all the other gods laughed)". You guys really are the best. If I'm lucky and get the job I'm applying for over there, you'll have to let me take you out for drinks or something.
Thanks Dan :D Drinks it is! Send us an email when you're finally here.
Haha Daiso is actually a Japanese store. We have one in Vancouver =] When I went to Korea and went to a Daiso they sold the exact same things as Vancouver. They also sold the same things in a Daiso in Seattle. My friend's in Kyoto right now and she says all the things in the Daiso there are the same too.
Oh and WLiiA is AMAZING. Colin went to my high school and university =D
I love you guys. You are my Monday staple. All part of a balanced diet. Awesome awesome playing of Props. Colin, Ryan, Wayne, and co. would be proud.
Since last week's WTF was cleverly included in this week's Music Monday, I think you should challenge yourself to include the Swan Of Pain in next week's Music Monday. Bring it full circle, eh? :D
Thank you for the thorough response :D
Xena reference! She was my childhood (er, more like adolescence) heroine!
Nothing wrong with a solo massage. Going blind is just a myth. 8D ::bricked::
Maaaaan I watched so much Xena as a kid, and Hercules as well. I miss those shows. Makes me wonder…if I watched them now would I be as impressed or would I be amazed at how sucky they are?
Simons water noise sounded like a waterfall
I love the store Daiso!!! I feel like you can buy anything in there and i love this video!!! can't wait to see what you guys put up next!<3
How do we win the WTF prizes? Do we just have to be subscribers?
We'll announce that in next week's video :D
Okie dokie!
This is awesome and actually here (south-america) we also think massages need to be painful or rough so you actually loose your muscles; sure, you're going to be sore a couple if days but then the pain actually disappear completely.
I love your videos guys! thank you.
Hahahaha. Really nice job :) btw, where do you store all the weird things? You guys may need more rooms for them soon. Muhaha!!
We've got a wonderful treasure bag full of it. We just went on a shopping spree and bought it all up :D
I just had this amazing, yet horrible idea of a commerical for this… swan shaped… something or other. Here it is:
Tired of your students being unfocused and loud while your trying to teach? Do you wish that you had a product that could end all of your troubles?
Well we have the latest in Korean Class-Silencing Technology that will make you dry your tears!
Meet: The Swan Stick!
Here are some of the amazing things you can do with your Swan Stick!:
1) Slam it on your desk to silence the class.
2) Wave it around nonchalantly, while barely missing your rambunctious students heads.
3) Put googly eyes on it and set it out as the Class Scarecrow
4) Use it as a bat in "Eraser-ball" (the fun game where the delinquent/ mischievous children get erasers flung at them, for disrupting class, by their fun-loving teacher!)The possibilities are ENDLESS!
Buy Now at:
or online at http://www.I_love_eat_your_kimchi_but_this_isnt_a…[Hope you liked my nerdy, slightly abusive, but all in good fun, "commerical". :D ]
I clicked on your link and it didn't work :(
you two are way too hilarious!! i swear you're related to my family….your humour is SO the same, especially as my sister, jas. LOVE IT!!
also, martina, your water sound is WAY better!!!
Ha! Sorry, taimi, but you spelled my name wrong. I think you meant to say "SIMON, your water sound is WAY better!!!!"
It's ok, though. I understand :D
ps. i bet that thing would be PERFECT to get that one spot i get right behind my left shoulder blade….
We have those in America too, they are awesome! I guess maybe I just like tough massages because I think it is like the best.
Also can you not sign in on facebook anymore? I don't see the option anywhere. I also thought I signed up here on the site somewhere to comment but I can't find it.
Wow. I just noticed that Facebook problem as well. I think it's an issue on Facebook's half not letting the plugin authenticate. I'll look into it.
Xena!! Yes!!! XD Triple crown awesomeness for you <3<3<3
Ouch! That just seems kinda painful! There are several Korean groups offering traditional reflexology and massages at kiosks in the malls here in Nashville. I've gone several times; yes it hurts, they literally beat you but after the pain wears off the next day – I feel fantastic for at least a week! So maybe they've got something there with the 'it must hurt to help' theory.
Awesome work guys! Used to know Martina when she lived in Toronto, and it's no surprise she hasn't changed ;)
Tho I gotta say, that back massager looks quiet a bit like the Riddler's cane that Jim Carrey used in Batman Forever doesn't it?-
OMG! Jorge! Is that you!!? Even though your picture is tiny I could tell it was you right away! What's going on!?? If you still have my old school super ghetto hotmail email address, drop me a line.
ps-> I'd suggest us catching up over some good ol' fashion Swiss Chalet chicken but I clearly don't live in Canada….hehehe! :p
Yes it is Jorge. I couldn't believe it at first but there you were on youtube. I don't have your hotmail address, but I just re-signed on facebook (if you have it) Glad to see you guys are doing well, and I loved the video on heart to heart I just saw. You got a new viewer :P
i've lived in canada for about 6yrs(?) and I totally understand you guys lol I laughed so hard when I saw you guys getting confused with korean cultural tool lol TOOL! LOL no. it's not that tool anyways. yep. I guess you know many koreans like to do things hard. I mean if you havn't noticed, koreans prefer real 'hot' hot tube instead of warm hot tube like in canada or we like to eat hot/spicy foods during hot summer blah blah blah. so I think that idea connects to prefering the 'hard' massage which differs from canadian(relexing) style lol.
and im sure we can ask friend for a massage also in korea. but most of the time they would not appreciate those favors b/c in korea, time is valued like priceless. so even if they are not busy, one who wants to get massaged probably would not interupt others doing their work/study. maybe it's some kinda type of manner(?) in korea I think lol -
Aww so cute, your clothes match. Both of you are wearing green and black ^_^
That was TOTALLY unintentional. Seriously! But, really, there are countless times in which we're getting ready to go out, and when we're all finished we look at each other and say "oh no. We're matching again, aren't we?"
i've lived in korea for almost 3 years now and I've seen those a lot. to use them you have to massage specific pressure points on the back. they do work pretty well if you know the points. think of them as an home – acupuncture tool. the problem is sometimes hitting the pressure point right…if your not used to knowing them i'd recommend looking them up…finding them with your hand. then doing a small massage. once you find the point then use the massager…sometimes there good for loosening up a really tight muscle (say after a boxing workout).
Haha! I think it depends on each individual. My friends and i love getting massaged at the shoulders… somewhere near the neck? I dunno how to describe it… but somewhere along the place of if you put your hands on your shoulders and pinch/pull upwards? Since tension tends to build up there with all the hunching due to studying or whatever? Maybe you guys can try that part and see?
Those massage things seem too ticklish for me, except one i found rather nice. You guys should try finding head massagers? It looks like a spider/whisk like thing. pretty freaky…and it looked like it hurt (hence i didnt try)
And foot massages! haha, i'll share a little fact of what i know: apparently in TCM you have pressure/acupuncture points all over your body and the way to find out how healthy you are is by your feet. Since all organs/parts of your body apparently have blood vessels at the feet area. So depending on where it hurts, it would indicate what organ is unhealthy. Not really much of healing…more like for chinese senseis to know what to treat you for…
PHUUU… that was a long comment! Sorry for spamming and hope my little sharing helps a bit? (: Thanks for all the awesome videos :D
it's called reflexology: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reflexology
it's interesting…though, sometimes a pain in your foot is just a pain in your foot! :D
Many Koreans have some small boxing gloves attached to wooden sticks… They use them to hit their back, so I guess it's the same use ^^ Can you just scratch itchy parts of your back with it~~?
So that's what those are for! I've seen those in the Asian market near my house and I've always thought to ask about what on earth it was used for but i never did. Thanks for the clarification.
You can, if you're desperate, but it doesn't feel good, I'd say.
totally love this one! ^^
when'll you do giveaway? ^^-
We'll be announcing it next week :D
whose line!!! XD
i wanted to say something pithy and fun, but all i can come up with is…"oh you guys!"…
See more comments!

ENG vs. SA 3rd ODI Preview
August 31, 2012 in Uncategorized
South Africa take on England at the Oval today in the 3rd ODI match of the 5 match series, two of South Africa's ODI batsmen, Graeme Smith and Hashim Amla scored centuries against England at this very ground in the first match of the test series, the latter scoring a South African best of 311 but don't expect matters to be as breezy as it was then.
Alastair Cook, who was appointed the Test Captain of England after Andrew Strauss announced his retirement is now captain of all forms of cricket for England, something that has rarely been seen in English cricket. Should South Africa win this match it would put them in a position where it would be impossible to lose this series or their number 1 ranking.
Having said that, you would think the majority of the pressure remains on Cook and his team to get back in the series, physiologically South Africa should have the upper hand, and if England's tormentor Hashim Amla continues on his marry way, we could see England suffer another big loss, This is the time when eyebrows will be raised about Kevin Pietersen not being in the England team, regardless expect this contest to be a much tighter affair.
Under the spotlight:
Alastair Cook
Cook has now been appointed as Test captain for the England side, which makes him captain in all formats of the game. A heavy 80 run lose to South Africa in the second ODI and a long with it a Duck for Cook at the top of the order has put pressure on him to perform personally and to show English supporters that he is indeed the right man to captain the test team. He will be under major pressure to lead his team to a win.
Ravi Bopara
Has been under pressure for not performing with the bat, looked good in the second ODI until he drove Robin Peterson straight to a cover fielder for 16. with Jonny Bairstow waiting in the wings and having put on excellent performances in the test series, Bopara will need to show his worth and put on a good score, surely the time is now?
Dean Elgar
Played sensibly in Southampton for his 15, looked solid and confident until a beauty from Swann made its way through to his stumps, no Swann for this match and Elgar will be looking to push hard.
Lonwabo Tsotsobe
Currently ranked the best ODI bowler on the planet, Tsotsobe only took the one wicket (the big one of Cook) in Southampton and had the second highest strike rate of the quick's. He'll be looking to put in a bowling display that most no he can.
Teams: (possible)
England: 1 Alastair Cook (capt), 2 Ian Bell, 3 Jonathan Trott, 4 Ravi Bopara, 5 Eoin Morgan, 6 Craig Kieswetter (wk), 7 Samit Patel, 8 Chris Woakes, 9 James Tredwell, 10 James Anderson, 11 Steve Finn.
South Africa: 1 Graeme Smith, 2 Hashim Amla, 3 JP Duminy, 4 Dean Elgar, 5 AB de Villiers (capt, wk), 6 Faf du Plessis, 7 Wayne Parnell, 8 Ryan McLaren, 9 Robin Peterson, 10 Morne Morkel, 11 Lonwabo Tsotsobe.
